A Western Bluebird Pick-me-up
I don’t remember seeing a Western Bluebird since I was a kid in Montana 60+ years ago.

Western Bluebirds – Male And Female
Just A Shot That I Like…#24 – Western Bluebird Taking Off
I’ve always been a sucker for unusual poses and flight postures. 1/1600, f/5.6, ISO 800, 500 f/4, 1.4 tc This female Mountain Bluebird had been flitting around in the brush all morning while looking for cicadas to feed her brood. I didn’t have much light for the shot (I was surprised to get a catch light) and there’s a lot going on in the background but for me the wing and tail position and the somewhat unusual angle of take-off helped to make up for it. I’m sure looking forward to spending more time with these birds up north this summer. Ron
